What our customer's say!

"Yamaha Electric Keyboard", This was a gift for our grandson's 16th birthday. By all reports from him, it is an excellent purchase.

"great except touch sensitive keys not sensitive enough", I am an adult who took piano for a year as a kid and am now taking lessons again. This keyboard has been great for me, as it is small and has good sound. I appreciate that I can plug in earphones or turn the volume way down if I don't want everyone else to have to listen to me practicing. Except for the built in metronome, I have not used any of the extra "features" and honestly would prefer that there just be fewer buttons, but that's a silly complaint. The one thing that really bothers me is that the touch sensitive feature isn't as responsive as I would like. The idea is that just like a piano if you push a key hard it plays loud, and if you push it softly it plays quietly. I don't have experience with other keyboards, but when I play on a real piano at my lesson, it is so much easier to play quietly or loudly when I want to. I am definitely glad that I got the one with touch sensitive keys rather than a cheaper one, but I don't know if other keyboards might have better control.

"Amazing Keyboard", An amazing keyboard for it's price!!! The Grand Feature feels awesome!!! I bought this for my husband for Christmas, unfortunatley it arrived in the manufacturers box, so surprise spoiled. Not Amazon's Fault! Anyway,
he hasn't been able to stop playing since it arrived. The clear sound, sounds like it is connected to an amp.. Amazing features! Great item to own for it's price!!!! Definately recomend this product!!!

"download specs misleading", I bought a YPT-400. I wanted primarily to play along with downloaded songs. When I got to the 12th downloaded song it would not take the 13th song. After back and forth with Yamaha, apparently I was out of memory, making the specs and also the specs re downloaded songs here and in the manual misleading at best. Otherwise, it is a great instrument for the price.

"Best price-performance-features incl. USB-MIDI, General MIDI", Yamaha YPT-400 has USB-MIDI

I bought the Yamaha YPT-400 too and using a regular USB cable I was able to:
(a) add/subtract songs (.mid files) from a WinXP computer.
(b) use the USB-MIDI feature...play the PYT-400 as a MIDI keyboard & play/record on computer using any 3rd party MIDI software (I used Voyetra Teach Me Piano Deluxe).
- the USB-MIDI keyboard is seen as "Yamaha Portatone-1" using "General MIDI" by such MIDI software on the computer.

I used USB driver included on CD-ROM (all USB devices need a driver whether it's provided via Microsoft or directly from manufacturer) and also the newer USB driver version available free for download at some yamaha site (just google for "yamaha ypt 400 usb driver").
